The 5 Gallon Bucket Food Storage Project - Part 1-A

This is the beginning of an on going project where we are going to build two 5 gallon buckets of long term storage items. During the project we will choose more items, keep track of the nutritional profile and discuss vacuum sealing, mylar bags and oxygen absorbers.

The first video went a bit long because I explained the total project and went over the first five items so watch part 1-B for the conclusion.

The first items in the bucket are 2 packages each of Garbanzo Beans, Lentils, Elbow Marconi, Cranberry Beans and one large Box of Minute Rice.

Is there in any benefit to whole wheat pastas?

[survivalpodcasting]

@c0boy - Of course the same benefit to whole wheat flour over white flour, much more nutrition.

[TrueBlueJMS]

@survivalpodcasting I have read that whole wheats ( much like brown rice), simply do not store as long as their bleached/white counterparts. Is this true?

[survivalpodcasting]

@TrueBlueJMS - When you mean flour or a whole wheat product yes it is true. Yet you can easily get 2-4 years in this type of storage from something like a noodle. It would be far less with raw flour. Now if you store whole wheat berries, they store for dang near ever. The key is we open and use these buckets so they get rotated. For true long term we stick to whole berries, white rice, etc. Balance in all things.

[RBNightlinger]

A space-saving suggestion: Consider storing orzo instead of noodles or macaroni. They're both pasta, but orzo is much more compact.

If you use whole grain/wheat pastas and brown rice you would be getting protein. Stay away from white flour, human processed, garbage.

You have to goto the farmers market to get this stuff take a look at my videos to see why.
